Help me bring my first NY Tech Week event to life!

As I come to celebrate my first year in business, I am bringing together the founder, investor, and fractional community in an event called Founders, Funders, and Fractionals on Wednesday June 5th 2024. Finding sponsors has been a challenge as my brand & the topic is still on the rise in terms of visibility.

I have amazing speakers & night planned (more on that below). Your donations will go towards subsidizing a space, promotional materials, and food/beverages.

Event name: Founders, Funders, & Fractionals

Post pandemic and layoff trends have caused a rise of skilled professionals to become free agents. The rise of skilled freelancers has created a gap – some crave senior-level impact beyond traditional freelance roles. Enter fractional professionals: experts offering their experience part-time for long term relationships or targeted projects. Businesses gain access to top talent without full-time commitment. For aspiring fractional talent, it's about flexibility, variety, and building their own brand.

Our event is strategically planned to provide networking and education, as well as increase awareness amidst the uncertain economic and funding climate.

The focal point is a panel discussion, which I, Ashley Jefferson, will moderate, featuring insights from four seasoned professionals immersed in the fractional space, addressing what fractionals are, their fit within various business models, their benefits, and the appropriate timing for their integration. Additionally, the panel will dedicate time to addressing audience questions.
